Very fast paced and light, you can read this book quickly and still enjoy it The story is broken out in two POVs, but I felt that they never got deep into the root of the drama Everything was very surface level, and felt disjointed when the narrative was advancing While this is better than their release last year, I just don t think I m meant to read anything by Liv Constantine This is me throwing in the towel However, the book does wrap up with a juicy and satisfying ending. The Wife Stalker is a daring, dastardly story with complex characters and a sinister plot A read through the night thriller that mesmerizes to the final page An absolute must for your 2020 list Piper Reynard decides to leave California behind for Westport, Connecticut in an attempt to recreate herself She establishes a wellness center and quickly finds success It is there that she meets Leo Drakos who is investigating a client She is immediately attracted to him but notices that he is wearing a wedding ring Leo has been suffering from depression and his wife Joanna is happy that the man that she loves is returning to his former self He is reconnecting with their two young children and he is ready to resume his career as a prominent lawyer What Joanna didn t expect was for Leo to develop a friendship with Piper during one visit She soon finds out that they have been meeting regularly and there are signs of a romantic interest Joanna will do anything to keep Leo and her prominent role in the family.The Wife Stalker is the third novel by the sister writing team Liv Constantine This psychological thriller is very well crafted and the twisty plot will keep readers on edge On a personal note, I know these authors and have a hard time reconciling how these two kind women write crazy evil stories. I m still catching up on my reviews from vacation and dreaming about the days I was on the beach with a cocktail It seriously feels like another lifetime, right when we got home shit started to hit the fan and it s like a totally different world now Crazy, scary, sad and weird times Speaking of, how s everyone doing I m all over the place in all aspects of my life, from parenting to reading I m struggling to deal with anything I feel like that s all of us though, right Ok, let me tell you about The Wife Stalker because it is the perfect summer read I know I m praying that things will be brighter this summer and I m sure you all are as well, so here s something to look forward to because y all need to get this one on your radar I don t think I ve ever read a book on vacation that was perfect for beach reading, it s a lighter style thriller that I lost myself in for a few hours and was just a breezy, wickedly fun read It wasn t a book full of twists and turns but it had one killer twist that had me gasping and I love being surprised If you liked Mrs Parrish you ll enjoy this one too A mixed review from me.I really liked the beginning of the book and found the characters interesting and would have enjoyed discussing their behavior I was so looking forward to being surprised and trying to figure out just which way the author would weave it togetherBUT, somewhere in the middle I began to skim and was just wanting something to happen Too much ordinary day to day narrative that was just not compelling or adding anything to the story I was starting to get frustrated Also, I repeatedly said to myself, this just wouldn t happen I usually don t mind too much because many thrillers have elements that require some creativity and that is what makes them fun I just wasn t buying the way the way it was presented.In the end, there is a twist that some may find appealing For me, I wasn t buying it at all It is still a quick, light read that worked as a bit of an escape Thanks EW for my review copy This one is out May 2020 As usual this duo never disappoints me Yet another twisty one Review to come.really soon.
